You can always pick up some last minute travel refillables at your local pharmacy or discount store the day before your scheduled trip but nine times out of 10, your favorite product will leak onto your luggage or you’ll spend a good amount of time smacking the mini bottles on your palm to get some moisturizer! Those are travel situations that owner and creator of mini kittour®, Vonda Simon, has had plenty of and thus created leak-proof and squeezable travel accessories. With her busy schedule as both a full-time entrepreneur and mother of two, she needed her beauty and skin care regimen packed, organized and ready to go!

Our Just in Case travel individuals are custom designed and created with squeezable HDPE material to get any and all of your product dispensed when you need it. Our refillable bottles also come with three cap options for your convenience: flip-top, spray and pump. All three are guaranteed to be leak-proof with our lock features. You won’t have to worry about wasted product or damaged items in your luggage.

Our refillable individuals are included in each of our pre-packed travel kits but are also available in our travel supply sets or separately.

Temperatures are rising in our side of town and although we were pretty excited for spring, we can’t wait for summer to get here! Summer always involves water, outdoor fun, getaways and of course, a sexy new swimsuit! This summer season, florals, animal prints and geometrically-inspired designs will be appearing in stores.

We love these girly, bright suits for soaking in the sun. What is your go-to look for summer wear?

Friday is such a celebrated day. And although today is feeling much like a Tuesday, the fact remains: the weekend is here! We daydream about exotic getaways during the week but when those are less tangible ideas, what else can you do to enjoy your weekend to its fullest? We have a few ideas that you might want to bookmark.

1) Be a Tourist in a New City

Try doing a search on Yelp.com for just about anything you fancy and you’ll see that you can find about a hundred different locales offering the same thing. So instead of heading out to the same breakfast cafe or coffee shop, take a drive to a nearby city or town and see what options they have to offer. You might find a hole-in-the-wall gem you’ll be raving about to all of your friends.

2) Stay at a Bed ‘n Breakfast Inn

The daily alarm clock is generally our enemy as it wakes us up from our peaceful slumber. Weekends can be our only chance to sleep in and remain enamored in our bed sheets, so if that’s your priority for the weekend, indulge in some slumber and peace at a nearby bed ‘n breakfast inn. Typically resembling cottages, these inns offer at-your-service amenities like home-cooked meals, themed food receptions, spa packages and romantic settings for couples.

3) Pretend You’re a Food Blogger

They say the way to a man’s heart is through his stomach, but in all honesty, who doesn’t like a good meal? Grab a few of your favorite people and try food specials from different hot spots. Take pictures, share via social media or just discuss and indulge in the flavors with your friends. You may have to do an extra workout session at the gym but the experience: delicious!

4) Pamper Yourself

When was the last time you did something special for yourself? Take a weekend out of the month to schedule appointments for relaxing pampering sessions. There are a few spa locations that allow for all-day access to pools, hot springs, mud baths and the jacuzzi; added massage or body treatments may be charged at an extra cost.

5) Artsy-Cool

Make an attempt to visit your local museums or art galleries. They are not only budget-friendly, but they offer student discounts or even free admission. You can educate yourself on historical information or even discover a new artist. Pondering on a painting for an entire minute can even alleviate some stress!

6) Enjoy the Outdoors

Don’t you hate it when your friends post images of themselves at the beach, the park, on a hike or any place that doesn’t involve the office during YOUR working hours? So instead of locking yourself indoors for the weekend, hang out with nature. In today’s internet-driven generation, we really do forget to stop and smell the roses.

So whether you decide to stay in for the weekend or conquer any of these to-do adventures, we hope you have an amazing weekend!

While you can easily plan a trip to an unknown getaway or create an ultimate “To-Do” list to avoid any stress or mishaps before your vacation, as the saying goes: expect the unexpected. Too many times we’ve heard of passengers losing baggage, feeling ill or even missing a flight! So how can you avoid travel nightmares? Well often times, you just can’t…but you can figure out your way around a disastrous situation. Take note below and hope that you’ll never have to be in these situations.

Missing Your Flight

This mishap will definitely delay your trip and cause distress, especially when you assume that the airline representatives will fix this situation pronto! If you are late for your flight, be prepared to pay extra for a new seat. Seats are reserved ahead of time, so you may have to be on stand-by for the next flight.

Losing Your Wallet

Without it, we feel hopeless. Our wallet has the most vital information of ourselves so the first thing you should do is contact your credit card and bank companies. You should found out where and how you can retrieve funds if needed.

Getting Lost

The point of traveling is to explore new areas but be aware of your surroundings. Research before your trip to find areas of interest nearby. You should also know the name of the hotel you are staying at and the address. If possible, travel in groups, but if you happen to stray on your own, make sure you have contact information of taxi companies, friends/family nearby or contact information of the hotel you are staying at.

What other travel nightmares can you think of and what are some ways to deal with them?

Not sure if you knew, but we’ve introduced a series of traveler sets that come with all the travel-size bottles and jars you will need! They are TSA-Approved and Leak-Proof and make great additions to further customize your existing mini kittour® bag or just to keep as extra.They also make the perfect travel-friendly gifts for those that plan yearly getaways.

So we’re thinking about pizza obviously, when Chicago comes to mind. Famous for their deep-dish pizza which often is tested against battles with a New York style pizza, the “Windy City” as they call it is home to much more than slices of delicious cheesy masterpieces.

Chicago is located in the state of Illinois and has become the third most populated city in the United States with an estimated 9.8 million people, according to Wikipedia.com. The city is divided into four main areas: Downtown, the North Side, the South Side, and the West Side, all of which are represented on the city flag (one red star for each region).

While many visit Chicago for entertainment, it does hold a number of places worth checking out! Chicago is home to Lincoln Park, one of the world’s last FREE zoos and it is also home to the world’s largest FREE outdoor food festival – The Taste of Chicago.

So let’s go back to where this all started: pizza. A Chicago-style pizza has a crust that is up to three inches tall at the edge and includes loads of cheese and chunky tomato sauce. It is also baked in a round, steel pan that is more similar to a cake or pie pan than a typical pizza pan, often times referring to a pizza as a pie instead as it is also stuffed with yummy ingredients.
